Twitter Slams Shia LaBeouf Over Racist Comment to a Black Cop

His arrest last week took an ugly turn.

Published July 13, 2017

Last weekend, actor Shia LaBeouf was arrested for public drunkenness, disorderly conduct, and obstruction in Savannah, Georgia. While his arrest was controversial enough, it was his conversation with a Black police officer at the Savannah Police Department that is now making news.

While being fingerprinted, he reportedly spewed hate and racism towards a man who was just trying to do his job. Understandably, Twitter is reacting with shock and anger.

In a video released by TMZ, LaBeouf looks straight at the Black officer and said, "You're going to hell, straight to hell, brother." He adds, "Especially you, deputy. That's a savage f*ck, man."
